It's incredible, and you know people say that, but the emotional and mental clarity that I have right now, like sitting here, is I can't compare it to anything else in my entire life.
Imagine using humor as a shield against life's darkest moments. That's exactly what comedian Lauren Ashley Bishop did, but eventually, she had to confront her pain head-on. In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', hosted by Paul Gilmartin, Lauren opens up about the three significant traumas that led her to seek somatic therapy for her dissociative PTSD. She takes listeners on a candid journey through her struggles with dissociation, self-harm, and codependency.
Lauren doesn't just recount her battles; she shares the tools and strategies that have helped her find emotional and mental clarity. Somatic therapy, which focuses on connecting the mind and body, played a crucial role in her healing process. Lauren's story is a testament to the power of vulnerability and self-awareness in overcoming trauma. This episode is not just about coping mechanisms but about finding purpose and hope beyond the pain.
If you're looking for an inspiring tale of resilience and recovery, this conversation offers both insight and encouragement.
